Diablo



I want to talk about a PC game whose name is Diablo. The game was produced by Blizzard. Blizzard is a game company that had made many popular games such as Starcraft, Diablo and Warcraft. Diablo is the first ARPG game - Action Role Playing Game in the world. When the game first promote to public, all the game fans of world were shocked by it. Beautiful image and excellent system design. It also allowed to play the game online with different others. It’s a really crazy game. The most important is that I made many friends through the game. I remember my first time to play the game was about 6 years ago. I just begin my university life at that time and didn’t know my classmate well. One day, I pass one of my classmate’s room and saw him was playing an interesting game. I stop to watch and ask him how to play. I known it called Diablo, and after that, we always played together in our leisure time. Slowly, others classmate joined with us and we became closed friends. Sometimes we made a big group to play online. Sometime we played until the midnight. It’s a really interesting time. Whenever I see the game again, I miss the funny time so much as I miss my friends.

no title

I cleaned the snow out of my house today. There isn't too much snow left on the ground because it's sunshine in the past several days. I think the weather in Calgary is changeful. You may see the gray sky in the morning, but it comes to sunshine quickly. When you are walking in streets and think you would have a good weather today, there may be a heavy rain coming soon. After all, it's good for me that I still have good weather now. My aunt always said I was lucky because there is still no heavy snow in Calgary until now. She said in the past, it had snowed for more than a month. I don't know how the real winter like in Calgary, I also can't imagine what the scene will like when the heavy snow fall, because there's no snow in my hometown; I never been in a place in such high latitude as Calgary. Though I never seen snow before I came to here, I am not thirst for the snow weather. May be I'm not romantic at all, but I really don't like to walk in thick snow alone in blizzard. So I think I am lucky for the late come snow as my aunt said. I have plenty time to adapt the frosty weather step by step.

Its name is Gundam

I like Gundam. Gundam is the name of a Japanese cartoon series. In the cartoon, Gundam is the general name of the best fighter-machines with good design and high functional. However, The stories of Gundam are not talk about the robots. They mostly relate to the soldiers who drive the machine, the war, and the people who involved in it. Unlike some cartoons have obvious opinion about virtuous and vicious, there's no right and wrong in Gundam. The stories of Gundam focus on the relationship between human being and wars. Even thought the cartoon makers describe wars, they oppose wars. They believe, in wars, there are no victor and justice but sadness and harm. I like Gundam not only because of the stories of them, but also the Gundam model. Since my childhood, I was like making model. Model plane, tank, ship, car…Gundam is my favorites. Every time, when a new cartoon series is put on show, there must be some relative models come along. They are very beautiful and ingenious. Their design are fantastic. You can finish the model without any glue and it's quite active at the same time. They are also pretty good looking. I wish I can collect all of the Gundam models, but I just have several of them because of the money and time I can pay for them.

crossroad


Sometimes I'm afraid to make a decision. I always feel bemused when I'm going make some important decisions. It seems I'm standing before a crossroad. No map, no sign, no ending. It's pretty hard for me to choice the direction because I don't know if I'm right or not; but there's no twice, once after the choice, I have no "return". The decision may affect my life greatly. I hope I can predict the future to see the result of my choice; go back to the past to make some change; or my destiny had decided everything of my life, so any decision I make is meaningless. But unfortunately, I'm not the genius that can invent the time machine; I also don't know if I am living in my destiny or not. I don't know what my future is as I can't change my past. What I know just the wrong decisions result the bad sequels and I have to respond to my choices. I don't want to say "I wish" very often. What the hard life. I don't know is this the art of life? I just want to know how to make a decision easier.

My friend

Today, I chatted with my friend who is now living in China online. We hadn't chatted with each other for a long time since I came to Canada, because the time difference and we both are very busy for our own business. He is one of my best friends and a soccer fans as me. He is good at playing soccer; much better than me. He taught me many things and we always played together in our hometown. Before I came here, we decided to setup a soccer team. We found other friends to join us and decided the suit of our team. But it is really a pity that before they received the clothes, I had left my hometown to Calgary. I have no chance to play in our team. In today's chat, my friend told me that they had bought my suit and still holds the No.12 for me (I always choice 12 for my player number). No one will use the number except me. He said he is looking for my return and we can play together again. I can't say anything at that moment; I just hope I was in my hometown right now. Wish you are happy everyday, my good friend. I will be back!

Tired.....

I hate to take the transit in the city. I have to go out to buy some food and visited my friend today. It took me about 1.5 hours from my house to the Chinese supermarket. I took a bus to Dalhousie first, and then changed to the c-train, after that still have to take another bus to my destination. I came back from my friend’s home near 7 o’clock at night. When I got to the C-train station in downtown, I just missed a C-train to Dalhousie. I waited for about 15 minutes for the next one. Soon after I got in to the C-train, I took the bus schedule out and found that the bus I need to take from Dalhousie to my house would leave in 25 minutes. I had the bad feeling that I would miss the bus again; I hoped I have good luck. But the truth is that the C-train was so slow…After I got off the C-train and ran to the bus station; I found the bus had left. I missed again. It’s cold and windy at night, I waited about 45 minutes. When I was in the bus back home, I was so tired. I just want to have my own car at that time.

Hockey!


I watched a hockey game on TV yesterday. This is the first time I watched this game. It’s between the Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers. The players skated in the field quickly to chase the puck. For attacking and defense, they not only use their skill, but also can strike each other, even fight! It’s interesting that the referees would not stop the clash between players at the first time until the condition seemed to be lost control. I don’t know the match rules at all. I don’t know if the fight is legitimate or not, because after a conflict, I saw the player had to wait a period of time outside the field, but after that, he could play again. It is very different from other games I watched before. In a soccer game, if players fight with others like this, they must be punished to left the rest of the match. Hockey demands players have both speed and strength. They have to move quickly! I think this is one of the fastest matches in the world. They also must be strong enough for every strike in any time; and, may be the strike also require skill. What a crazy game!

Confusion

Sometimes, I feel really confused living in Canada because of the different culture. I had lived in my country for a long time; I had used the culture of my country. When people say something or do something, I know what their meaning is; I also can get well with each others. However, after I live in Calgary, I have to face a new culture, new people, and adapt a new life style. I think I still can’t understand the Canadian culture well. One of my friends told me that Canadians like to express their idea directly. But people also say that the Canadians are connotative, how they show their connotation? I don’t know~~. For example, if my friend said to me that I can use his bread for breakfast, can I do it? Dose he just wants to show his friendly by saying this? Or really welcome me using his bread? If I eat them all, would my Canadian friend like it? Most of time, I face a lot of questions, and I don’t know how to do usually. I also don’t know how to keep the relationship with my new friend, because I don’t understand the culture well. Can time and experience help me?

Sudoku!!#$@#%$#%#

Today,I played the Sudoku on the bus when I back home. I did it much quicker than before. I nearly finished it before I got off the bus; it just took me about 10 minutes!! Soon after I back home, I continued my work and was going to enjoy my first victory. But ......I don't think this game can make people happy~~In the last minute,I found I had made mistakes and failed again. I was so depressed...... I think I still need time for my "victory".
